Typographic Sins

 

I ran across a fun (and occasionally funny) poster about “typographic sins,” written by Ray Elder, a graphic design professor at the Utah Valley University.  Gems include referring to faux bold font faces as “sinful” (while a real bold font type is “virtuous”) and declaiming a failure to use fractions (i.e. writing it as ‘1/2’) as “wicked.”
